Manufacturing Facility Roofing in San Antonio and Austin

Usually, for most of the roof. We agree with your production team which areas can be worked while lines run and which need a shutdown window or temporary separation, then sequence the roof around those windows.

First we find out what the roof is exposed to: heat, steam, oil mist or chemical fumes. A protective coating chosen for that exposure can keep sound metal in service. Where the panels are already corroding through, a retrofit roof over the old one is the lasting answer.

Probably not. Dripping on dry days usually means condensation, where warm, moist air from the process meets a cooler roof sheet. Sealing outside joints will not stop it. Insulation with a vapor-tight inner face will, either in a retrofit roof or with insulated metal panels.

We detail a new flashing or curb at every penetration as part of the new roof, whether that is a retrofit, R-panel or TPO roof. If a stack or duct needs moving, we sequence it with the contractor responsible for that equipment.

TPO seams are welded with hot air, not an open flame, but many plants still treat it as hot work. We follow your permit and fire-watch rules for welding, cutting and any other heat-producing work.

Yes. The new sub-purlins and roof are fixed from above, through the existing roof into the purlins, so most of the work stays outside the building. We check crane rails and clearances and plan protection wherever fixings come through near equipment.

Insulated metal panels from Kingspan or AWIP. They give continuous insulation, a smooth cleanable inner face and controlled joints, which suits conditioned production, clean areas and spaces where condensation must not drip onto product.

Plan them together. New machinery can mean new penetrations, exhausts and loads on the roof. If we know the layout before the roof is designed, the curbs and openings go in once, rather than being cut into a new roof later.

The contractor responsible for that equipment. We agree the sequence with them, keep the roof watertight while it is moved, and complete the roofing connection before the area is handed back.

Yes. We cover manufacturing buildings around both metros, from Seguin along I-10 east of San Antonio to Georgetown north of Austin, all planned and run from our office in Bulverde.
